Yeeeah, I'm there, too. It helps that in my native language people still use "directory" frequently. It's an obscure enough word that it just took on that primary meaning smoothly. Folder is more confusing.

I always felt that way, even at the time. All the skeuomorphism seems silly now, but it felt even sillier coming from DOS and being used to things being very abstract before.
